Handoff, Vessel Passport
Owner-operated boats accumulate the same scattered records as any vessel: manuals in a drawer, service receipts in an inbox, and whatever the last owner remembered to mention. Vessel Passport organizes it once, verified, in one place the boat keeps for the next owner, captain, or mechanic.
Scoped and priced for an owner-operated or lightly crewed boat, roughly 40 to 70 feet. For a professionally crewed yacht, see Yacht Passport.
From $4,500, once.One record, one vessel.Private record, not a class document.
What’s included
Manuals, registration, insurance, survey, and warranty paperwork, collected and organised.
Engine and generator records, electronics, navigation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and safety equipment.
What's been done, what's due, and when, sourced from the records you send.
The marina, mechanic, detailer, and other vendors who already know the boat.
A grounded assistant that answers from the vessel's own records, included for the first year.
Metal NFC Vessel Passport cards; tap to open the record, no app to install.
How it’s built
Registration, manuals, service records, photos, whatever exists. There's no form to fill out first.
Every document is reviewed, duplicates removed, and what can be checked against the vessel is checked.
The finished Vessel Passport goes live, with a handoff session and the engraved cards, ready for the new owner or the current one.
Pricing
A single price, scoped to an owner-operated or lightly crewed boat. Larger or more complex vessels, with professional crew and full technical custody, are Yacht Passport territory instead.

Questions
Yacht Passport is built for professionally crewed yachts, priced and scoped around crew, management companies, and full technical custody. Vessel Passport is the same discipline sized for an owner-operated or lightly crewed boat, roughly 40 to 70 feet, without that operational overhead.
Most don't. We work with whatever exists, note what's missing rather than guessing at it, and the record improves as gaps get filled over time.
No. Vessel Passport organizes a boat's existing systems, documents, and history. It doesn't inspect, certify, or replace a marine surveyor.
The record can transfer with the vessel, on terms the owner sets, the same way it does on Yacht Passport.
